Rift Template Users Guide  

  Redirected from (Rift Template Users Guide (Rift)).

The Rift Template Users Guide is a detailed analysis of all the tools and templates users can use within the ZAM Rift wikibase. Check out the Table of Contents to the Right to find the Template that can help you best.

  • Rift - {{Rift}}, anywhere on a page, adds the page to Category:Rift-Planes of Telara and displays a nice little box on the right side. This is what we call a Game Tag template

Contents [hide]

Main Templates

  • Riftitem - link to an item and colorize the link based on the rarity of the item
  • Rift Popular Links - A simple box to contain a list of popular links that are related to an article.
  • Rift Quick Facts - A simple right-aligned box to display at-a-glance basic information and important links for the page.
  • Rift Mob - Displays a header with level and location, used on Rift Mob: pages, especially when the mob has multiple db records with multiple locations.
  • Rift Object - Display basic information about an Object (What is it? Where is it? What's it for?)

Tool Templates

  • Rift Coin - Display coin amounts with icons.

  • Rift Edit Version - Tracks the version of an article.
  • Rift Souls List - A menu box with links to all soul pages, for use on all Calling and Soul pages.
  • riftcoord - Displays an X, Y coordinate pair, use this so that IF we get a way to create in-game waypoints we will have the stricture we need in place.

Linkers

Linkers create links to pages, with additional information, or when we are not sure the page type will stay where it is. Use of linkers is optional. All pages can always by linked to with standard wiki syntax.

  • Riftability - Rift Ability: links
  • Riftachieve - Adds a graphical bullet to the left of the link for Rift Achievement: pages.
  • RiftItem - link to an item and colorize the link based on the rarity of the item
  • RiftMob - Rift Mob: links
  • RiftObject - If we someday get data from Trion for objects using this now could save us a lot of pain then.
  • RiftQuest - Rift Quest:, adds (level) and [quest type flags], used mainly on Quest Series pages
  • Riftrecipe - Rift Recipe: links
  • RiftZone - Rift Zone: links

Event Templates

  • RoS - River of Souls event info box.
  • SoW - Spoils of War event info box.

Handy Global Templates

  • AdminNeeded - Notify an admin that something on the page needs fixing.
  • Stub - Call the page a stub to notify others to help expand its content.
  • Trivia - Add trivia to a page in a neat layout.

Special Templates

Unused/Obsolete/Phased Out Templates

  • Template:Rift Other Resources - Links to other Rift-related fansites.
  • Template:Rift Recipe - (Deprecated) The old Recipe infobox Template
